...practice allowing nurse practitioners to practice independently without physician supervision. Independent nurse practitioners would be major reinforcement for the health care reform act. Independent practice would also allow nurse practitioners to go out into rural areas where there is no other health care access, and also foster a readily available healthcare environment in other areas as well. Change is the best option for the nurse practice act in South Carolina.
An inside-outside strategy will be implemented to accomplish a change in the Nurse Practice Act. A push from outside allies including healthcare consumers, nursing professionals, and physician support will help influence the inside government officials to make policy changes. In order to have an effective advocacy campaign you must have sufficient and flexible financial support. Joining together as allies and combining resources to accomplish goals can make the advocacy journey more effective.
From an inside strategy stance, South Carolina state legislators that are involved with the medical committees, specifically with an interest whether negative or positive in health care reform will be targeted. Senator Thomas C. Alexander who is on the medical affairs committee in South Carolina will be contacted. Senator Alexander opposed the Health Care Reform Act in the State of South Carolina.

...Analysis of Rhetorical Strategies
in “The Company Man”
In “The Company Man” by Ellen Goodman, throughout the passage Goodman illustrates her feelings of distaste and anger toward Phil, as he in her mind represents Corporate America: routine, indifferent, almost robotic. Goodman uses numerous rhetorical strategies to convey her attitude toward Phil, including tone, repetition, the use of statistics, sarcasm, anecdotes, differing syntax, and irony.
From the beginning, Goodman creates a very impersonal tone, letting characters remain nameless and unimportant, identifying them primarily by their age – “Phil, fifty-one years old…Helen, forty-eight years old…”. This mirrors the corporate mindset that everyone has an expiration date, and everyone is replaceable. In addition, Goodman uses repetition of certain phrases in the passage, like Phil’s death: “He worked himself to death, finally and precisely, at 3:00a.m. Sunday morning.” This illustrates her frustration toward Phil for his over-dedication to work, while at the same time using numbers and statistics to show his unimportance to the company. Numbers are constantly used by Goodman to emphasize the fact that Phil was nothing but a statistic: “fifty-one years old…worked six days a week, five of them until eight or nine at night…overweight by 20 or 25 pounds.” Goodman also shows this through her use of sarcasm; “He worked like...

INTRODUCTION
Ghana is one of those countries dependent on cocoa for the hard cash it needs to develop. Ghanaian cocoa does attract a small premium for its flavour, particularly from traders supplying the British market. One Ghanaian in four earns their living from the crop, which provides 60 percent of the country’s foreign exchange. Cocoa supplies one third of Ghana’s tax revenue.
Traditionally, cocoa could only be sold to the Ghanaian Cocoa Board (known locally as the Cocobod), which paid farmers a small fraction of the world market price. The Produce Buying Company (PBC) was established in on November 1993, and wholly owned by Cocobod until 1999, when it was privatized and consequently listed on the Ghana Stock Exchange.
Since the introduction of the competitive multiple bunging systems in 1992 the number of increased buying Companies keeps on increasing every year. The internal marketing of cocoa therefore becomes more competitive every year.

...WRITTEN ANALSIS OF CASE # 1
RAYMOND MUSHROOMCOMPANY
PROBLEM STATEMENT:
Raymond Mushroom Corporation (RMC) objective is to increase the number of pounds sold and the profit per pound.
CONCERNS:
In early 1980’s RMC started realizing losses. The prime factors of this loss are lack of advertisement, brand recognition; lack of knowledge about consumer behaviour; lower yield of 2.8 pound per sq. feet as compared to industry average of 3.1; the proportion of production for each style varied and were not in accordance with demand; lack of consistent presence in geographical areas.
ANALYSIS:
Pricing- The current price of$1.30 per pound of mushroom as compared to industry price was not able to generate profit. The price can be increased to $1.39 as it was in 1981. This price lies between the top brands and other competitors which will make it competitive. The retailers would be paying $8.34 for case of 24 4oz. can of mushroom stem and pieces. The pricing can be varied as per the stores of Worcester to target the various income groups as is done by B in B in stores 1 & 7.
Alternatively the price increase can be avoided as per the proposition made; RMC’s variable cost is 54% of total cost of production. The total cost of production can be lowered by increasing the production thereby improving the yield per square feet from 2.8 to 3.1 which is industry standard. The yield can...
